Contests Actually Work

Last week I randomly entered a contest with Landmark Theaters here in Philadelphia which basically runs the Ritz Theaters. They show mostly independent films and foreign language films. They are an awesome theater company and I have seen a lot of great movies there including Sunshine Cleaning which just came out on Friday. It was a great movie and if it is coming to a theater near you I strongly endorse it. Emily Blunt, Amy Adams and Alan Arkin are the main actors and they do a great job.

Anyway, I am a Film Club Member with Landmark Theaters which means they send me emails with the new movies coming out. Last week they had a contest where you just had to name the character played by Emily Blunt in the movie and if you were correct and your name was randomly picked...well you would win a soundtrack to the movie.

Look at this little email I got today....


Dear FiLM Club Member,

Congratulations! You were chosen to win a soundtrack from the movie SUNSHINE CLEANING, courtesy of Overture Films! Please include your mailing address in a reply message, and I will ship it out. Enjoy your prize!

Best,

Stephanie

Stephanie just made my day. After a hard running practice with the students at school, this is exactly what I needed. I am excited to get my new soundtrack in the mail.

Moral of the Story - Enter those little contests...you win them sometimes.
